We've all been hearing for several years about Bibframe, its purposes, its
development and its promise. We know it will change our lives! Many of us
are eager to learn by doing, itching to get our hands dirty but unsure where
to start. Come to the CaMMS Forum to review what we know and what we don't
know, plus hear from two libraries already experimenting with Bibframe. The
presentations will be followed by a question period.
Speakers:
Angela Kroeger (Archives and Special Collections Associate, University of
Nebraska at Omaha) will give an overview of the current status of BIBFRAME
development, including a brief introduction to what BIBFRAME is and what it
does, which tools are available or under development, a glimpse what
fully-implemented linked data looks like, a closer look at the four core
classes of the BIBFRAME model, and a dab of philosophy.
Nancy Lorimer (Interim Head of the Metadata Department, Stanford University)
will report on the Bibframe-related work of Stanford metadata and library
technology staff, introducing their plans for experimentation in the coming
year. She will also discuss training catalogers in linked data concepts and
technologies as well as the importance of involving a variety of staff in
moving toward linked data experimentation and implementation.
Jackie Shieh (Resource Description Coordinator, George Washington University
Libraries) will focus on the current state of her library's two years of
exploring the transition from MARC to Bibframe. She will share what has
become routine and what still remains challenging.
